- LDLs are 'low density lipoproteins' which are the 'bad cholesterols' in your blood, HDLs are 'high density lipoproteins' which are the 'good cholesterol' (remove unwanted cholesterol from the blood and take it to the liver).
- Effectively you want more HDLs than LDLs otherwise you end up with too much cholesterol in your blood which can 'clog' up your blood vessels causing a cardiovascular attack/coronary Heart disease.
What else can I help you with?
What is hdl and ldl?
HDL is high density lipoprotein , Whilst LDL is low density lipoprotein .
Is Increased HDL levels are directly related to increased risk of a heart attack?
No, HDL is the "good" one, it is high levels of LDL that you want to avoid. High HDL, low LDL is considered the "heat healthy" situation.
What other molecules in a patient's blood are monitored along with HDL and LDL?
Triglycerides
What is the meaning of LDL and HDL?
OK so LDL is low density lipoprotein and HDL is high density lipoprotein. LDL is considered to be a bad cholesterol and HDL, a good colesterol. there is more on this topic here : http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=180
What does LDL of 231 and HDL of 47 mean?
LDL (bad cholesterol) of 104 is reasonably low - and this is good. HDL(good cholesterol) of 65 is significantly high - and this is also good!
Why do doctors monitor the concentration of hdl and ldl in the blood?
to determine whether a patient is at risk for cardiovascular disease.
Why do doctors monitor the concentrations of LDL and HDL in patients?
to determine whether a patient is at risk for cardiovascular disease.
What are two types of cholesterol carriers found in blood?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL).
What is the relationship between HDL and LDL cholesterol levels in the body and how do they impact overall health?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) are two types of cholesterol in the body. HDL is considered "good" cholesterol as it helps remove LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, from the arteries. High levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, high levels of HDL are associated with lower risk of heart disease. Therefore, maintaining a balance between HDL and LDL levels is important for overall heart health.
What is different between hdl and ldl cholesterol?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is known as "good" cholesterol, as it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries and transport it to the liver for processing. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is known as "bad" cholesterol, as high levels can lead to plaque build-up in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. Maintaining a balance between HDL and LDL levels is important for heart health.
what the normol of hdl and ldl?
what the normol hsl and ldl?
Hdl and ldl prevent cardiovascular disease?
You want your HDL (good) to be higher and your LDL (bad) to be lower.
